coinlover1899 Pillar of the Community United States 3058 Posts	Posted 09/11/2017 4:07 pm What do you think? I know there is a diagnostic with the two leaves on the reverse, pointing to AMERICA, and it looks like the bottom leaf is pointing to the C, as a 1796 should. Please help! If you need better pictures, I can probably take better ones. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 09/11/2017 7:48 pm I might suggest putting a thin piece of paper over the reverse and lightly rubbing a pencil over the paper. You might actually be able to see the relief better. Report this Post to the Staff
